Contemporary art is often preoccupied with time, or acts in which
the past is recovered. Through specific case studies of artists who
strategically work with historical moments, this book examines how
art from the last two decades has sought to mobilize these
particular histories, and to what effect, against the backdrop of
Modernism. Drawing on the art theory of Rosalind Krauss and the
philosophies of Paul Ricoeur, Gerhard Richter, and Pierre Nora,
Retroactivity and Contemporary Art interprets those works that
foreground some aspect of retroactivity - whether re-enacting,
commemorating, or re-imagining - as key artistic strategies. This
book is striking philosophical reflection on time within art and
art within time, and an indispensable read for those attempting to
understand the artistic significance of history, materiality, and
memory.
